We’re supporting Center City’s recovery with more sidewalk ambassadors, bike patrols and homeless outreach teams.

The Center City District (CCD) marked its 25th anniversary of providing services to make Center City clean, safe and attractive with a special thank you luncheon for all its employees and paid special tribute to 11 individuals who have worked with the CCD since its founding in March 1991.

CCD, with support from Rittenhouse Row and the City of Philadelphia, plans to transform one of Philadelphia’s most popular shopping and dining destinations, 18th Street from Locust to Chestnut and Walnut Street from 15th to 19th, by temporarily closing streets to vehicular traffic.

The mission of the CCD is to provide a clean, safe, well-managed downtown so Philadelphia can successfully compete as an attractive location for business, education and health care institutions, life sciences and for tourism, arts and entertainment, dining and shopping and as the fastest growing residential area in the city.
